Hello Folks,
We wanted to bring to your attention that the 2008 Cumulative Time Zone Update for Windows has been released to the Microsoft Download Center (DLC) for currently supported Windows OS versions (including Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista).
This update can be found in KB article 942763 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942763)
As noted previously, the annual 2008 Cumulative Time Zone Update for Windows sets the known, correct dates for 2008 (including 2008 changes for Australia, Brazil and other countries we know that have changed their observance of DST entry/exit dates or time zones in 2008). This early drop of the update allows IT professionals and sysadmins to test the installation and deployment of the cumulative update roll-ups prior to broad distribution. The update packages will be distributed to computers via Windows Update in early December (the second Tuesday, Dec 11).
Guidance for consumers and unmanaged customers: Generally, consumers should allow for the updates to be installed on their computers via Windows Update rather than download and install these updates from the DLC.
Thanks.
Cecilia Cole
WSUS Program Manager

Good morning folks,
I just wanted to let you know that early next year, we are adding a new product family to your WSUS server - Expression.
The Expression product family will include updates for Expression SKUs, including service packs, optional updates, and critical or security updates. We expect all Expression updates will be offered through Microsoft Update. For additional information on the Expression Studio Products see: http://www.microsoft.com/expression/.
We recommend WSUS admin having Expression deployments in their corporation to subscribe to updates from this product family.
Thank you and have a great day!
